32 - Prepare Server for API Deployment
Transcript
00:00All right, guys, so we're gearing up to deploy our API,
00:03but we have some housekeeping matters that we have to take
00:06care of to make sure that this deployment goes smoothly.
00:09Now, if you have never deployed
00:11any ASP.NET Core application, especially with.NET 6,
00:16then you will need to install the hosting model.
00:18You can easily go ahead and search for the hosting model for.NET 6,
00:23and you can hit that first link that you'll see.
00:26It will lead to a page looking like this,
00:28and what you want to download is the Windows Hosting Bundle.
00:32Of course, you have it available for
00:34the different operating systems that you might be operating,
00:38but we will be using Windows and IIS.
00:41Go ahead and hit the download button or hit the Hosting Bundle,
00:47and it will go ahead and download that Hosting Bundle.
00:50You just install that on your machine,
00:53and if you had IIS running,
00:55then you can restart IIS.
00:56But after installing that,
00:58then you can follow the next video,
01:01and we will be doing a few more code changes and
01:03then deploying our API to our machine.
